The “Postcards” Memorial on the St. George Waterfront contains 274 plaques in honor of Staten Islanders who died in the 1993 and 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

For many families, the memorial is a place of reflection and solace.

In recent weeks, officials said some of the plaques have been damaged or removed. This is at least the third time this memorial has been vandalized. Christine Collins came to visit and said she can’t believe it.
